ABSTRACT

The present invention is to provide a liquid solution for the tissue paper to enhance properties of the tissue paper such as strength, softener, absorbency. The solution composition comprises of fluid such as water, natural organic witch hazel having an extract of natural grain alcohol and glycerin. The liquid solution is especially effective for victims of piles.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a liquid solution for toilet tissuepaper in order to moisten a piece of toilet paper.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Paper webs sometimes called tissue or paper tissue webs or sheets, findextensive use in modern society. These include items such as papertowels, facial tissues and toilet tissues. These paper products can havevarious desirable properties including wet and dry tensile strength,absorbency for aqueous fluids (e.g., wettability), low lint properties,desirable bulk and softness.

Absorbency is the measure of the ability of a product and itsconstituent webs, to absorb quantities of liquid. Current toilet tissuepapers are less absorbent. Furthermore, in order to remove excess wasteand dirt from passing through the tissue during use, consumers performvarious compensating actions. For example, many consumers select severaltissues at once. Such practices lead to more usage of tissuesunnecessarily. Moreover, flushing too many tissues may cause plumbingproblems such as clogged pipes.

People commonly use toilet paper to clean themselves when using therestroom. However, overuse of toilet paper can cause discomfort if thetoilet paper is dry and scratchy. For those individuals suffering fromanal disorders such as hemorrhoids, fissures, or the like, theimportance of adequate perianal cleansing takes on heightenedsignificance. Conventional toilet tissue products used for anal cleaningare essentially dry and are intensely painful for people suffering fromanal disorders and can excoriate even normal perianal skin, potentiallycausing irritation, inflammation, pain, bleeding, itching, andinfection.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Devices have been disclosed in the prior art that relate to toilet paperwetting devices. These devices generally relate to toilet paper wettingdevices that dispense water. The following is a list of devices deemedmost relevant to the present disclosure, which are herein described.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,776,773 patent discloses a tissue paper moisteningdevice. The device includes a vertical member mounted below a roll oftoilet paper having a retractable arm thereon. The arm includes a liquidsource on an end thereof that is adapted to moisten the tissue paper.The liquid source comprises a nozzle spaced from the area in which thepaper is positioned so that the nozzle can be used to dispense liquid inorder to wet the tissue paper. Thus, the device fails to disclose atoilet paper wetting device having a reservoir in which antibacterial orscented solutions can be stored.

Another patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,044,556 discloses a toilet paper wettingdevice. The device includes a tank having a heater for heating the watertherein and a nozzle for dispensing the warm water to wet a piece oftoilet paper. A valve is provided for opening and closing the nozzle asdesired by the user. Thus, the device discloses a system for dispensingwater for a user and does not include a device having an additionalreservoir antimicrobial solution.

Likewise, patent U.S. Pat. No. 6,918,513B1 discloses a device forselectively wetting pieces of toilet paper. The device contains a hollowtwo-piece mandrel containing a nub at each end. The nub of the firstpiece contains a stabilizing pin for keeping the device in the uprightposition. The first piece also contains a spring for maintaining outwardpressure on the two pieces. The second piece contains an enclosure for adesired liquid lying along a tilted platform and a manually controlledactuator and dip tube. Pushing down the actuator results in a spray ofthe desired fluid directed at several pieces of toilet paper which havebeen removed from the roll.

The devices in the prior art primarily provide toilet paper wettingdevices that dispense only water. However, this method is unhygienic andcan lead to severe infection also. Thus, it would be desirable toprovide a solution for toilet tissue paper. This leads to the tissuepaper having sufficient wet strength, flexibility, absorption, andsoftness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to overcome the prior art shortcomings and deficiencies, anobject of the present invention is to provide a liquid solution for thetissue paper to enhance properties of the tissue paper such as strength,softener, absorbency.

The present invention relates to the solution composition comprises offluid such as water, natural organic witch hazel having an extract of animmobilizing agent such as a natural grain alcohol to emollient thesurface of the tissue paper web and glycerin.

The solution is enabled to be carry in a dispenser bottle or in portabletoilet paper dispenser device or in a stationary device.

The solution used in the present invention also have environmentalsafety (i.e. are nontoxic and biodegradable) and cost advantages,especially compared to prior softening agents used to treat tissuepaper. The improved softness benefits of the present invention can alsobe achieved while maintaining the desirable tensile strength, absorbency(e.g., wettability), and low lint properties of the paper.
